This has to be illegal in some form. I mean, 14 year old girls being sold to become brides? No doubt they are being taken advantage of. I mean, they can't possibly know what they want, they are just curious. If I were a Cruiser Captain, I'd fire off a couple of Tomahawks at the IP Address of this place.

As far as I know it's not just illegal here in America, but it's illegal in the majority of the countries on our planet.

Sadly, children these days don't think first before going into something which is why most of those girls will end up misterable because they didn't realize that their life styles would be a living nightmare.

They're not being 'sold', technically it is a 'Bride Price', an old tradition that most cultures don't have any more.

Kinda disturbing, but arranged marriages are hardly rare.

How bad would you feel to be the one who's only worth 5 grand, compared to 100k?

Haha.

Still, thats a pretty nasty fucking idea for a site, although i don't doubt that quite a few of them laybuys...

You mean the dowry system ? It's not particularly uncommon, and there is often a certain logic to the idea (in the sense that the bride's side usually pays for the entire wedding and accompanying celebrations, etc.). Just depends on your perspective and the way you've been brought up.

This is the opposite of a dowry though. This is the groom paying (making a gift) to the parents for the bride.
